Well, Kenny wasn't killed in exactly *every* episode.
Not exactly Rollie Fingers smooth, but close!
And how is he SUPPOSED to say it? That's not exactly something you blurt out in the middle of an episode.

He isn't SUPPOSED to say it. A way could be manufactured, I SUPPOSE. Time travel to a less enlightened era where it comes up or something. But otherwise there's no reason he would. Except I guess a fan's need to confirm James T. Kirk's precious heterosexuality.
I'm afraid it may never be canonized. People will have to live with the ambiguity about whether a man who does not actually exist is 100% about screwing ladies.
So, I've been on the fence about SNW's Nurse Chapel. But she won me over in Spock Amok. Loved her scenes with Spock particularly.
Then I was watching TOS' Obsession last night, and there was the snarky Nurse Chapel from SNW! I had forgotten, but when she went to check on Lieutenant Garrovick, she used good old snark and attitude to help him feel better and make him eat! So, there were hints of that in TOS.

I'd almost think that they are actually saying that they don't trust guys in general with that statement.
And that's on them, not you.
Why the hostility? The point is that given A) heterosexuality is the statistical norm and B) Kirk has only ever been seen with people of the opposite sex, it's very likely, in fact reasonably certain, that he was straight. You could argue that it's not 100% sure, but it's a safe assumption.
If anyone wants to watch a great example of platonic, brotherly love between men, check out nu-Hawaii 5-0. McGarrett and Dano have it in spades. That's a real bromance between blood-brothers.
Same with old Magnum PI between Magnum, Rick, Higgins, and T.C. Those men loved each other, and were 100% straight.

I wouldn't call what I said hostile, but it is annoying to be asked as if it were a responsibility to come up with a good way to canonize something so inane. I was using SUPPOSE in all caps because that's what the person I was responding to did.
I already said I think Kirk is likely straight. It is a safe assumption. If you want it to be canon though, too bad. It has not been firmly established. And even if it were, it could easily be overridden whenever those who hold power over the IP decide to change it. It's a foolish notion to worry about how canon an aspect of a fictional character is. As if something's canonicity has any value in and of itself. None of this is real. No James T. Kirk is going to show up and say, "Actually, I only date non-binary people." Anyone who wants Kirk straight has no reason to worry. Anyone who wants him bi or anything else can do whatever mental arrangement they want to fit that in.
Gave it an 8. Really enjoyed it and a really nice change of pace from last week's thriller. Not always a fan of Star Trek comedy episodes, but this really was well done. The security chief and Nurse Chappell are becoming 2 of my favorites. Both easy on the eyes too.
Ethan Peck is getting closer to Nimoy’s vocal eccentricities with every passing episode.
That Peck voice goes far in the filmmaking industry. 
Gregory Peck's shadow is all over Trek despite him not actually ever showing up in a Trek show/film, from his buddy Brock Peters being both Admiral Cartwright and Joseph Sisko to now his grandson Ethan being Spock.That Peck voice goes far in the filmmaking industry.
Peck's really good in this. And so is Hackman. I should know. Joel and 'Bots keep saying so. 
T'PRING: You've redecorated. I don't like it.
APRIL: So if we redistrict this sector in favor of the Yangs, we can get more votes come the election. I call it gerrymandering.
ALIEN AMBASSADOR: You're an idiot!
ALIEN AMBASSADOR: This room reeks of horseshit. We prefer another.
PIKE: Hi, I'm Chris. Let's all adjourn to airlock Gamma-Seven, then. You two go on ahead...
M'BENGA: Avoid the Sea of Japan, if you will, Mr Kyle.
HER DATE: You're like, warp reactor core hot.
CHAPEL: And you're like, as boring as a Horta.
HER DATE: You'll never know what you missed, Sweetheart. I'm shipping out with the Exeter tomorrow.
I'm still waiting for a: "DEFLECTORS!...FULL INTENSE-CITY!" from Peck as Spock -- Come one Akiva; put the line IN!
It's not the caps I was refering to. Nothing in the quoted text had caps. I was refering to your use of "precious heterosexuality.". It had an air of disdain to it.
Then I shall declare us in agreement.
